Is It Time For 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Ram 3500 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Ram 3500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Dodge Ram 3500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Ram 3500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ram 3500’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Ram 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Ram 3500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 Ram 3500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ram 3500's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Ram 3500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Ram 3500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 3500 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Ram 3500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Ram 3500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Ram 3500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Ram 3500 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ram 3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ram 3500 travels over minor bumps.
